NovelOnlineChapter 253 Worried that Clara might say something, Ryan quickly spoke up before she could, "Oh, so you're Ms. Salford's brother. There was a bit of a misunderstanding earlier. I noticed she didn't look well and got a little worried, so I wanted to check if she still had a fever.
"She must have misunderstood my intentions." He turned to Clara with an apologetic look. "Ms. Salford, I stopped you earlier because you seemed nervous and looked pale. I just wanted to explain, but I didn't expect it to cacross the wrong way. I'm sorry if I startled you." Wren glanced at him but didn't acknowledge his excuse. Instead, he turned to Clara, lowering his head slightly to meet her eyes. With a serious expression, he stared at her and asked, "Clara, are you okay? Tellwhat really happened." Clara had regained her composure. She hesitated for a moment, taking in the serious look on Wren's face, then glanced at Ryan.
Ryan no longer wore the unsettling expression he had when they were alone. Instead, he looked diffident and resigned, as if she had completely misunderstood him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClara replayed the moment in her mind. Aside from his attempt to touch her forehead, he hadn't actually done anything inappropriate.

She then pondered for a while. In the end, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Wren." Looking at Ryan, Clara frowned without even realizing it. "Mr. Chase, whether this was a misunderstanding or not, I hope you'll be more mindful of your actions in the future.
"I don't like physical contact with people I'm not close to, especially men. If something like this happens again, or you makeuncomfortable, I won't hesitate to report it to the dean or the police." Ryan's expression twitched for a split second when he heard the word "police".
How dare she threaten him? He hadn't even touched her, yet she was talking about calling the cops? He gritted his teeth as he forced himself to stay composed. He barely managed to keep his expression in check. Wren didn't know exactly what had happened, but from Clara's words, it was clear that Ryan had harassed her. His expression turned ice-cold, and the way he looked at Ryan was the kind of stare that made a man's blood run cold.
"What did he do?" Wren asked coldly.
